I got a new nephew the other day, and I'm soooo looking forward to seeing him in real life :) hopefully this weekend. The parents don't read my blog so I think it's pretty safe to publish the card :)I thought my card would fit the Whiff of Joy challenge blog this week where they want flowers on the card - and I guess I've used quite a few on this one :)

The image from WOJ is one of my favorites from the woman collection, its colored with distress ink refills and the papers are from Melissa Frances. The sentiment is from Aud Design, and translates to something like : "A sunshine has arrived into the world, congratulations" - not sure if this is correct translation, but I guess you get the picture :)

I just loved the sketch at A spoon full of sugar this week so when I got some time this evening I threw myself at it :). I've got quite a few images that I've alredy colored so then all there is to do is to match the colored image with papers - and I struggle all the time. I think that is the most difficult part of the cardmaking.

But I found some papers today too - so here's my card - hope you like it :)

I've used this lovely boy from Whiff of Joy. Colored him with distress ink refills. Papers are K&Company and My minds eye.

I got some new lovely flowers the other day - the big blue one in the middle - thought it looked really nice.

I've used som glitterglue on the flowers to get it to sparkle a bit :)

The card is also sprayed with some glimmer mist, but it doesn't show in the picture.

I've had some wonderful days in Sandnes with my two darling babies and my dear Magnar. We went to an amusement park called "Kongeparken" close to Stavanger. My little girl loved it and did'nt understand why she couldn't go on all the rides ;) I'm not very brave when it comes to roller coasters and stuff like that (was much braver when I was younger...).....

Finally at home and some cardmaking resulted in the following card. At the whiff of Joy challenge blog they have this lovely sketchm by Donalda this week. The image is colored with distress ink refils. All papers are Melissa Frances.

This week at Just Magnolia challenge blog they want us to use buttons on the cards. I don't usually use buttons, but have a box with some white and pink ones, so the card had to be pinkish :)I used this lovely Tilda with umbrella, she's so cute. I colored it with distress ink refills.

I put some glitter on the flowers, I've seen Camilla do this and it's always so beautiful on her cards, the notepaper behind the image is from an old songbook.You can see my three buttons on the left :) All edges have got som distress vintage photo on them.

The sentiment which means "to a good frien" is printed out from my computer.

I've started working again so the evenings aren't filled with cardmaking at the moment - I'm so tired that when the kids are in bed - I usually only have energy to surf the internet ;) looking at all the gorgeous creations out there - wanting to make something too... Anyway I managed to make this card for the Just Magnolia challenge the other day which this week wants too see charms on the cards. I've put some cute little charms together with the flowers. The sweet Tilda is from the new summer kit which landed in my mailbox last week :)

There's a gorgeous sketch over at Sketch saturday this week that I had to try. And tonight it was a little less hot than it has been the last couple of weeks so I managed to make a card with one of the new Whiff of Joy stamps :)
